Scrivener - 2 views

  •  
    Great software for drafting - much easier to use than MS Word for longer pieces of writing. It's worth downloading the trial and setting aside some time to play with the tutorial.

    I adore Scrivener. We'll take a look at it this Wednesday.
  •  
    I've got something called Scrivener in my Applications folder. I think I might have bought it at one stage. Is it a program you buy?
  •  
    Yes it is, though it's only about $40. Have a play.
  •  
    Writing software designed especially for writers. Costs around $40 (but do a search for vouchers and you may get a discount).

AquaNotes - Waterproof Paper Notepad - 1 views

    I forgot this most important thing: Waterproof notepads made of waterproof paper. A notepad and pencil you can use in the shower for those brilliant ideas you'll otherwise forget. I use it ALL the time.

    I get all my best insights in the shower, but the fact that I forget them immediately may have something to do with my lack of success, lol.
